Today about 80% of the population have gum disease and only a few realize it. Many cases remain undetected and lead to tooth loss or other oral health problems. More people loose teeth today because of gum disease than cavities. The cause of gum disease is the formation of dental plaque on the tooth surface. The bacteria in the plaque produce a substance that leads to that inflammation of the gums. This is when the disease damages the bone. Good oral hygiene is the only way to prevent gum disease. Other methods that can improve your oral health include things such as brushing techniques, fluoridation, and your diet.
